shee4speed Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 try some Engine Ice,make sure your impellars are still functioning,and don't sit around idleing.If the coolant shoots out of the radiator,you have other issues. ps: some of you guys need to type properly so we can read this right..Not being a dick but it's true.

yamahaman244 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I took my cap off my raditor and stared it up and the fluid came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodneya Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I took my cap off my raditor and stared it up and the fluid came out If your engine was cold when you started it, and it blows out immediately then you better pull the head off and take a look. Head gasket is blown or head is cracked in a big way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaman244 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Ya it was cold when I started it I just felt the radiator to before I started it so maybe it didn't settle down in there I just did a top end job on it idk why it would have a blown head gasket after it's only been 7 days sence the rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamahaman244 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 any atv or dirt bike shop/dealership usually, or online All right what is normal operation temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 oh, yah, i forgot to add that i use dexcool (the orange stuff) because the temps get below -30f, and it feels just like oil when ou run it between your fingers, anti-corrosive, blah blah blah, but most just run engine ice because it helps the transfer of heat as good or probably better. in the track car, i used to run watter wetter in the coolant. if you start it cold with the cap off, and it's spitting the coolant, then it's time to check for gasket leaks. if not, then it's either jetting, or a buildup of old coolant deposits in your system, preventing heat transfer to the radiator. oh, yah, x2 on the punctuation, i don't like reading more than 2x for it to make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaman244 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ya mine did that and I just did a top end job and all new gaskets so why would it bad it's only been like 7 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ya mine did that and I just did a top end job and all new gaskets so why would it bad it's only been like 7 days did you torque the head in proper sequence, and remember to re-torque after a couple of heat cycles. just running it 5 min isn't good enough, you actually have to get it hot, and let it COMPLETELY cool a few times. good idea to leave the rad cap poped off during the process, as well. not saying you didn't, just gets skipped often.

casey Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 well, yesterday i took it out to a sand pit near my house .. ran good.. i stoped after riding 25 min and checked it and it was leaking coolant .. i so shut it down and waited a little and tlaked to my friend about it and then we started riding and after about 30 min i checked it .. NO LEAKS :biggrin: soo we kept riding and then went to some woods trails and ripped around through those.. after a total of about 2 and a half to three hours of riding it didnt leak again... and then today i took it out and rode it hard for 30 min and it didnt leak again either .. so i am very happyyy :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
